Alizarin yellow is a pH indicator that transitions from red to yellow when the pH falls from a value of 11 to below 10. Why is p

henol red a better pH indicator than alizarin yellow for detecting a change in pH of broth containing pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli

Answer:

The correct answer is - acidic conditions wouldn't trigger a change in the color of Alizarin yellow.

Explanation:

The growth of E. coli generally occurs at neutral pH, however, its growth is normal at acidic conditions as well.  The change in the growth of  E. coli is not able to detect by alizarin.

The phenol red turns yellow in the presence of an acid, and the change in pH in an alkaline environment can be detected by the red color of phenol red. Growth of E.coli will grow in pH of 10-12 . But, very slowly. The color change in alizarin is also apparent at pH 10.2 to 12 only.

Ivenika [448]

Answer and Explanation:

<em><u>Available data</u></em>:

  • Comb shape is determined by genes at two loci (R, r and P, p).
  • The walnut comb genotype is R_P_.
  • The rose comb genotype is R_pp.
  • The pea comb genotype is rrP_.
  • The single genotype is rrpp.

a. <em>Walnut crossed with single produces 1 walnut, 1 rose, 1 pea, and 1 single offspring: </em>

F1 phenotype: 25% walnut, 25% rose, 25% pea, and 25% single.

F1 genotype: 4/16 RrPp, 1/16 Rrpp, 4/16 rrPp, 4/16 rrpp.

b. <em>Rose crossed with pea produces 20 walnut offspring</em>.

F1 phenotype: 100% walnut.

F1 genotype: 16/16 RrPp.

c. <em>Pea crossed with single produces 1 single offspring</em>.

This is not possible, because the pea genotype involves <u>at least</u> one dominant allele P. There are two possible crosses: <em>rrPp x rrpp</em>, which must produce half of the progeny pea and the other half single, or <em>rrPP x rrpp</em> which produce a whole pea progeny with no single offspring.

F1 phenotype: 50% pea, and 50% single.

F1 genotype: 8/16 rrPp, 8/16 rrpp.

d. <em>Rose crossed with pea produces 2 walnut, 1 single, and 1 pea offspring</em>.

This is not possible, because having one of the parents with a rose phenotype  involves <u>at least one R allele</u>, which means that <u>there must be rose phenotype</u> in the progeny.

F1 genotype: 4/16 RrPp, 1/16 Rrpp, 4/16 rrPp, 4/16 rrpp.

e. <em>Rose crossed with single produces 31 rose offspring</em>.

F1 phenotype: 100% rose (31 individuals equal 100% of the progeny).

F1 genotype: 16/16 Rrpp.

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is Zones of tolerance

Explanation:

All living organisms such as fish,plants and animals  need water to survive and also the require certain pH level of water in order to be healthy.Its a acid and base balance reaction.Strong acids dissolve into water and its changes water's pH.if water's pH level drops it becomes acidic suppose a fish waste ammonia releases and dissolves in water to form harmless ammonia ions,carbon dioxide ions and hydrogen ions even some limestone also rises pH level and water becomes more basic.To make the tank water alkaline, add some corals and aerate the tank water by fixing an air pump so that excess of carbon dioxide eliminate out and water pH level comes to neutral this is the reason water becomes slightly alkaline and the fishes are able to reproduce.
